In 32 days the world will have an Undisputed Heavyweight Champion

The build up feels very quiet for a fight of this magnitude.

I'm not convinced it happens tbh.

 

unless its a draw.

 

Have you ever been hit with a cup on?? They are not a magical force field, it still hurts, sometimes badly. I'm not arguing that fighters play it up and sometimes fake it, but it can hurt a lot.
I had a friend loose a testicle after getting hit with a baseball while wearing a cup.

 

Yes. After a quarter of a century. It's a great thing for boxing, but also a shame for boxing.

 

Good luck to both fighters taking part in this Undisputed fight and no doubt the winner may well also have the shortest Undisputed reign in Heavyweight History,here’s hoping it’s not the case but according to the rumours Hearn has already got it locked in for the winner to be stripped of the IBF belt so Joshua can fight Hrgovic for the stripped belt ! The same Hearn who lobbied the IBF not to strip the belt from Ruiz when he defeated Joshua as he had already signed to an immediate rematch stating that Ruiz as the new Champion he was entitled to a voluntary defence . F Pathetic !

 

Usyk will win!

 

And this naturally leads to a Fury v AJ mega fight for the undisputed… maybe the master plan after all for Hearn, Warren and definitely the Saudi’s?

I think Usyk v Fury will be a messy affair with Fury looking maul, rag doll and impose his size. The referee will be crucial for Team Usyk if he wants to fight his fight.

 

Fight won't happen, Fury will pull out, hope I'm wrong

 

Boxers don't wear "cups" like baseball players, they wear bladder protectors.

And yes, I've worn both. I played high school football and I boxed in high school. They are two very different "protectors."

A punch to the waistband should have next to ZERO impact, unless you truly can't take it to the body.

That's why heavily muscled guys like Dubois and fat tubs of lard like Miller, two hard punchers with completely different body types, routinely hit each other for 12 rounds in the trunks and neither one complained much at all.

Neither fell to the floor for five or six minutes needing a break, that's for sure.

Fury stops him late after falling behind

 

Don't the IBF realise that they'll look ridiculous by joining the Mickey Mouse organisations in not recognising someone that everyone else views as the true heavyweight champion?

 

Unfortunately, I think you're right, I feel Fury has got one more bit of messing around to do to try to get under Usyk's skin. Im not of the tje opinion that Fury is going to duck, and I really hope I'm wrong, I've just got a horrible feeling he's gonna get "cut in sparring" or something to postpone even by a month

 

Dubois shot was not low and I don't think Usyk will get a gift like that against Fury.
Fury will be more focused for this fight and yeah he'll target the body because that's
what will beat Usyk.

 

I've said it before if the fight goes ahead I don't see there being a rematch. I think if Fury wins he'd rather retire and scatter the belts so he can be sure o boast about being the 1st undisputed in a quarter century and he can keep boasting until there's another undisputed which could take years. If Usyk wins I still think Fury retires, he'd be mentally shot because I think he genuinely believes he can't be beaten and he wouldn't cope well with it.
